Ethics, space, and somatic sensibilities: comparing relationships between scientific researchers and their human and animal experimental subjects [PDF]

, 2011
Drawing on geographies of affect and nature-society relations, we propose a radical rethinking of how scientists, social scientists, and regulatory agencies conceptualise human and animal participants in scientif ic research. The scientific rationale for

Insights into pegRNA design from editing of the cardiomyopathy‐associated phospholamban R14del mutation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) secondary structure and reverse transcriptase template length affect prime editing efficiency in correcting the phospholamban R14del cardiomyopathy‐associated mutation. Insights support the design of structurally optimized enhanced pegRNAs for precise gene therapy.

Single‐cell insights into the role of T cells in B‐cell malignancies

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Single‐cell technologies have transformed our understanding of T cell–tumor cell interactions in B‐cell malignancies, revealing new T‐cell subsets, functional states, and immune evasion mechanisms. This Review synthesizes these findings, highlighting the roles of T cells in pathogenesis, progression, and therapy response, and underscoring their ...

Positive Wild Animal Welfare

Biology & Philosophy, 2023
AbstractWith increasing attention given to wild animal welfare and ethics, it has become common to depict animals in the wild as existing in a state dominated by suffering. This assumption is now taken on board by many and frames much of the current discussion; but needs a more critical assessment, both theoretically and empirically.

Cyclic nucleotide signaling as a drug target in retinitis pigmentosa

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Disruptions in cGMP and cAMP signaling can contribute to retinal dysfunction and photoreceptor loss in retinitis pigmentosa. This perspective examines the mechanisms and evaluates emerging evidence on targeting these pathways as a potential therapeutic strategy to slow or prevent retinal degeneration.

Understanding animal welfare [PDF]

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2008
Summary: In debates about the welfare of animals, different people have tended to emphasize different concerns. Some emphasize the basic health and functioning of animals, especially freedom from disease and injury. Others emphasize the "affective states" of animals – states like pain, distress and pleasure that are experienced as positive or negative.

Scientific Opinion on the use of animal‐based measures to assess welfare in pigs

EFSA Journal, 2012
Animal‐based measures, identified on the basis of scientific evidence, can be used effectively in the evaluation of the welfare of on‐farm pigs in relation to laws, codes of practice, quality assurance schemes and management.
